This is an action against Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") for an injunction requiring the defendant to stop allowing Palestinian terrorists to incite violent attacks against Israeli citizens on its internet platform. The plaintiffs are 20,000 Israelis who, since October 1, 2015, have been living in the crosshairs of a murderous terrorist rampage carr:ied out by terrorists who attack people with knives, axes, screwdrivers, cars and Moloto'v cocktails for no reason other than that the attacker perceives the victims to be Jewish ("Terror Attacks"). Many of these murderers were motivated to commit their heinous crimes by incitement to murder and the glorification of violence against innocent civilians they read on Facebook—demagogues and leaders exhorting their followers to "slaughter the Jews," and offering instruction as to the best manner to do so, including even anatomical charts showing the best places to stab a human being. In this matter, the defendant is far from a neutral internet platform, as it is Facebook's algorithms that connect the terrorists to Case 1:16-cv-04453-NGG-LB Document 1-1 Filed 08/10/16 Page 4 of 113 PageID #: 73 the inciters, and Facebook often refuses to take down pages filled with incitement to murder. While in some instances Facebook may not technically be considered the "speaker" or "publisher" of such incitement, its status changes when it actively assists the inciters to find people who are interested in their hateful messages. By brokering connections between terrorist inciters, including recognized terrorist organizations, and potential followers, recruits, rank-and-file terrorists and violent criminals, Facebook is introducing the people who scream "fire" in a crowded theater to arsonists. Just as "fighting words" are not protected speech, Facebook's conduct is indefensible and must be ended. 2. Many of the terrorists who have attacked Israelis over the last several weeks were responding to inciting posts on Facebook calling on them to'slaughter Jews and providing detailed instructions on "how to" do so. Some of the terrorists announced their intentions on Facebook just before going out to attack, making statements like "I want to become a martyr," and "the Third Intifada has erupted." These attackers have been glorified en masse as martyrs through Facebook, thereby inspiring numerous others to follow in their footsteps. 3. Facebook has the technical ability to monitor the material that appears on its websites. Instead of using that data to actively direct those who are most interested in carrying out Tefror Attacks to the incitement that will lead them to their goal, and instead of introducing the inciters to people who are interested in murder, Facebook should be held accountable to remove these hateful messages immediately upon being posted and cease making such introductions, and shut down the Facebook accounts of recognized terrorist organizations and terrorists. ~t THE PARTIES 4. Plaintiff Richard Lakin is a 76-year old dual American/Israeli citizen who was born and raised in the greater Boston area. Plaintiff Richard Lakin moved to Israel along with his wife and children in 1984. Plaintiff Richard Lakin is currently in critical condition with life-threatening -2- Case 1:16-cv-04453-NGG-LB Document 1-1 Filed 08/10/16 Page 5 of 113 PageID #: 74 J injuries, after having been shot and stabbed by Palestinian terrorists in an October 13, 2015 Terror Attack on Jerusalem Bus No. 78. 5. In the Jerusalem Bus No. 78 attack two Israelis were murdered and more than 20 were wounded. 6. Plaintiff Micah Lakin Avni is a dual American/Israeli citizen and the adult son of Plaintiff Richard Lakin. 7. The remaining plaintiffs are 20,000 citizens of Israel, who have been and continue to be targeted by a campaign of incitement to murder carried out and promoted through Facebook , by Palestinian terrorists intent on carrying out Terror Attacks. 8. AII of the plaintiffs are presently threatened with imminent violent attacks that are planned, coordinated, directed, and/or iricited by users of Facebook with the knowing and intentional support and assistance of Facebook. Each of the plaintiffs fears for his life and safety as well as the lives and safety oftheir families and neighbors: The threat of being killed or seriously injured in the random terrorist attacks has spread to every sector of Israeli society. Barely an hour goes by in Israel without the report of another attack or attempted attack against civilians. So pervasive is the fear of terrorist attacks that few Israelis venture outside of their homes, schools or offices. Schools and colleges across Israel have bolstered security on their buildings and campuses. Moreover, Israel has deployed thousands of additional police offers and border patrol troops in its cities, malls and bus stations. Former army and police officers are being urged to carry weapons with them, and stores that sell civilian self-defense equipment such as pepper spray report being unable to keep up with the massive demand. 9. Upon information and belief, the defendant Facebook, Inc. is a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of-the State of,Delaware, which conducts business . -3- Case 1:16-cv-04453-NGG-LB Document 1-1 Filed 08/10/16 Page 6 of 113 PageID #: 75 throughout the United States and the world, including Israel, and maintains offices in both New York and Israel, and innumerable other places. FACTS The October 2015 Terror Attacks 10. On October 1, 2015 Palestinian terrorists murdered a young couple, Eitam and Na'ama Henkin, in a brutal roadside shooting attack on their vehicle while they were driving home from a social gathering with their four young sons in the back seat. 11. Following the Henkins' murder, Israel has been plagued with a wave of Terror Attacks, 12. Since the beginning of October 2015, these Terror Attacks have claimed the lives of at least ten Israelis, and dozens more have been injured. 13. These Terror Attacks have been carried out by young Palestinians, with the yodngest attacker being just thirteen years old. The weapons of choice for these murders are knives, with axes, meat cleavers and screw; drivers also being used. 14. These Terror Attacks have taken place in locations -across Israel at various times . ,;. during the day, leading all Israelis to fear for their personal.safety and security whenever out in a public place. 15. Unfortunately, the list of Terror Attacks since October l, 2015 grows daily:I : a) October 1, 2015, Nablus near Samaria — Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin murdered in a drive by shooting.

An overview on desert aquaculture in Israel. In V. Crespi & A. Lovatelli, eds. Aquaculture in desert and arid lands: development constraints and opportunities. FAO Technical Workshop. 6–9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Proceedings No. 20. Rome, FAO. 2011. pp. 85–112. SUMMARY The State of Israel has a very diverse climate. Most of the country is in a semi-arid zone, with distinct short winter (wet) and long summer (dry) seasons, and a low annual rainfall of around 500 mm (an overall multi-annual average). The country can be divided into two climatic regions: (1) the southern arid/semi-arid areas have very low annual precipitation (<100 mm) and consist of the Negev Desert and the Arava Valley; this arid zone extends also to the Jordan Valley where annual rainfall is below 300 mm; (2) the central-north of the country that has a temperate, Mediterranean climate and a relatively high annual rainfall (>600 mm). Israel has suffered from a chronic water shortage for years. In recent years, however, the situation has developed into a severe crisis; since 1998, the country has suffered from drought, and the annual rainfall was short of the multi-annual average in most of the years.

    Yoni Rechter Teev Events Inc. 16501 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91436 Tel (818) 483-8818, Fax (818) 482-2708 www.teev.com Biography Composer, pianist, singer and arranger, Yoni Rechter has made a major contribution to Israeli music in a career spanning more than 40 years, and is considered among Israel’s most important musicians. In the dozens of songs that Yoni composed, he created a wide variety of styles, incorporating numerous influences, from Sixties pop (mostly Beatles) to Jazz, Israeli to classical, east and west, into a fascinating personal statement. Rechter always composes with originality, great sensitivity to text, and for the best performers. He is considered the mark of quality and integrity in Israeli music. Yoni’s music is sophisticated and ever unexpected, constantly shifts tones and beats, and his classical piano training is evident. Many of his compositions have become staples of Israeli music, and one has on several occasions been voted the most popular Israeli song of all times. Yoni has worked closely with many of Israel’s top artists, including Arik Einstein, Gidi Gov, and Yehudit Ravitz. Perhaps his two most well-known collaborations are the legendary Kaveret group (a.k.a. Poogy), and Hakeves Ha-16 (The 16th Sheep), released in 1978 and still Israel’s most-popular album of children’s songs. A sought-after musical director, producer and arranger, Yoni has worked on numerous musicals, films, dance and albums. Rechter has also written classical music, and the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra performed a concert dedicated to his songs and compositions. Hebrew University, Honoris causa Born in Tel Aviv, Yoni started playing piano at the age of 7, and decided to be a musician at age 12 when he discovered the Beatles.

In various contexts, this land- intensive technology often competes with other land uses like agriculture, nature reserves, and army training. As a result of this competition, interest groups often seek political leverage in order to prioritize their spatial use. Framing their uses as existential is one possible way to capture the attention of decision-makers. Yet, this securitization process may create a framing contest whereby different actors use similar securitization language to promote different land uses. This study is the first attempt to trace how this framing contest of securitized discourses over land appropriation is constructed. It is based on the Israeli experience of promoting solar energy in the Negev Desert, an area conceived as available to solar development. Through an analysis of protocols of Israeli policy-makers’ meetings between 2002 and 2011, the study documents the ways in which players adopt securitized language concerning various land uses such as energy, food, ecology, and traditional (national) security. The study found that the use of securitized framing varies between uses, forums, actors, and sectors. Yet competition between securities discourses remained uneven as, in the Israeli context, many players find it difficult to challenge the hegemonic role of traditional (national) security.
